Document background
The Master Use License Music agreement is essential for businesses operating in Nigeria that need to legally use copyrighted recorded music in their operations. This document is commonly used when a party needs to obtain rights to use specific recorded music for commercial purposes such as broadcasting, streaming, public performance, or inclusion in audiovisual productions. The agreement, governed by Nigerian law, particularly the Copyright Act Cap C28 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, outlines crucial terms including usage rights, territorial limitations, duration, fee structures, and reporting requirements. It serves as a critical tool for protecting intellectual property rights while facilitating commercial exploitation of music recordings, ensuring compliance with Nigerian copyright regulations and industry standards.
